April 21, 2021 - Cape Robin-Chat or Cape Robin (Cossypha caffra)

Found in a spotty range in parts of southern and eastern Africa, these robin-chats live in a variety of habitats, usually with dense undergrowth and scattered trees or bushes. They eat invertebrates, small frogs, lizards, fruits, and seeds, foraging on the ground in leaf litter, picking food items from vegetation, and sometimes capturing insects in the air. Females usually build the cup-shaped nests alone from bark, twigs, dry grasses and leaves, ferns, rootlets, moss, seed pods, and other materials in cavities in banks or tree trunks, shrubs, or even in overgrown pots or boxes. Females incubate the eggs and brood the chicks but both parents feed and aggressively defend them.

Kaprötel (Cossypha caffra)

In Südafrika konnte ich in de Kelders morgens einige Fotospaziergänge an der wunderschönen Küste machen. Die Vögel dort sind auffallend zutraulich und man kann sie oft aus nächster Nähe fotografieren und beobachten.

Cape Robin (Cossypha caffra)

In de Kelders in South Africa I could do some birdings walks in the mornings along the beautiful coast. The birds are strikingly trustful and man can photograph and study them from very close distances.
